Tudor Cottage? |

|
"I am trying to determine this house's architectural style (it's in New England). It was built in 1928 and it has badly peeling paint from its wooden shingles (plus the shingles don't have much life left either). I am actually trying to decide if I want to replace all the wooden shingles with stucco, but am not sure that is in keeping with the style of the house or not. It sort of looks tudor'ish but is lacking in half timbers, etc. Maybe it's a cottage of some sort. Can you please help me determine it's style so that I may choose an appropriate siding material?? PS: The far left side and far right sides of the house are additions. The left is a 1980's garage and the right side is a sunroom addition. The main part of the house, then, for dating purposes, is the center part with the two peaks." ~ kw03904 Photo copyright © the homeowner |
